New posts in Quantitative Social Research at Sheffield Hallam University

The Faculty of Development Society at Sheffield Hallam University is seeking to make two appointments: one to research fellow/senior research fellow and one to research associate. Both posts are to strengthen our capacity in quantitative social research.

More details are at: http://www.shu.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies/academic/

The Faculty of Development and Society has a national reputation for policy research. Its expertise lies primarily in four contract research and knowledge transfer centres: Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research (CRESR); Hallam Centre for Community Justice (HCCJ); Centre for Education and Inclusion Research (CEIR); Centre for Science Education (CSE).

From Autumn 2013 CRESR and HCCJ will be co-located in a new institute of policy research, with close links to both CSE and CEIR as well as other policy related centres across the University. Building on our existing high profile in data analysis and reputation for quantitative social research, the University is investing in a new Research Fellow/ Senior Research Fellow.

Applicants are sought who can make a major contribution to our work in the following areas: value for money and impact evaluation studies; measurement of social value and wellbeing; application of statistical and econometric techniques; analysis of spatial data drawn from secondary and primary sources; design, administration and analysis of survey data using appropriate packages.

You will need strong analytical and organisational skills as you will work within project teams and deliver to deadlines. It is essential to be able to communicate complex findings to a variety of audiences in a straight forward manner. At Research Fellow/ Senior Research Fellow level you will have experience of income generation, project management, and policy and academic publication.
